crayola

hint for the co8/9?

12:57 am

NonoNanette

a

1:02 am

jessmom

think about a dunce cap crayola

5:51 am

mattygroves

Jess, does that imply it starts with the co4 that is a shape of sorts?

5:52 am

Scrabbler

I looked up co8 = compound word = co4/5 + pa4/5. That clue doesn't work for me.

5:54 am

mattygroves

I see how the clue works, but it confused me too (but I get it, now that I found the word :) )

5:54 am

Scrabbler

I will stay until you get that word.

5:55 am

mattygroves

Found it Scrab - thanks muchly!

5:55 am

Scrabbler

The clue still doesn't make sense to me. New word for me.

5:55 am

mattygroves

Same - but I'm going with co being the shape of the dunce cap and the pa4 being a sort of word for head :)

5:56 am

Scrabbler

I passed halfway and must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.

5:56 am

mattygroves

As in a bald pa4 :)

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Yes, but what does a crayon have to do with the word?

5:56 am

mattygroves

Have a great day scrab

5:57 am

mattygroves

Crayola was the name of the person who asked for the clue :)

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Definition of that word = hog-nosed skunk in South America.

5:57 am

Scrabbler

I see, matty. No comma confused me.

5:58 am

mattygroves

Grammar counts :)

5:58 am

Scrabbler

Absolutely. Bye.

I can't remember if I finished yesterday.

12:07 pm

saanichcat

hi there nan!

12:07 pm

cybernan

I find that the longer we are in isolation the more difficult it becomes to keep my mind going on full alert.

12:07 pm

cybernan

Hi saanich - how are things on the island today?

12:08 pm

saanichcat

better than predicted...we were supposed have snow, again. Very quiet.

12:08 pm

cybernan

we have the odd flake coming donw - about the same as yesterday. About 1/2 inch

12:09 pm

saanichcat

time has somehow warped in isolation.

12:10 pm

cybernan

hasn't it though -- can't believe a month has gone by since Christmas.

12:10 pm

cybernan

and a year since our first covid cases and we are so much worse off now than ever

12:10 pm

saanichcat

has it already?!

12:11 pm

marksdolly

got 7" here yesterday and thru the night

12:11 pm

saanichcat

that is why I am staying home, except to go to Butchart gardens

12:11 pm

saanichcat

seven inches ofn SNOW?? yikes

12:12 pm

cybernan

glad we didn't get that -- hate walking out when it is slippery and that is about the only activity we have left.

12:14 pm

cybernan

do you have any family around saanich?

12:14 pm

saanichcat

no, unfortunately

12:15 pm

saanichcat

but lots of good friends; we stay in touv=ch by phone or walking

12:15 pm

cybernan

us neither they are in Vancouver and Alberta

12:16 pm

saanichcat

good luck on the puzzle; taking a break here. Words are coming slowly today.

12:16 pm

cybernan

that's good. We live in a gated community and at least half of the homes are occupied by widows -- I do worry about how some of them are doing as we never see them out an about.

1:43 pm

periwinkle

hey hokie

1:44 pm

cybernan

wow - peri -- nice. We probably won't get ours until March

1:44 pm

zoozzoom

My parents had it a few days ago, Peri. It wiped them out for a day or so.

1:44 pm

penquis

i am still waiting to be scheduled for the vaccine...

1:44 pm

moolingwa

found a word...yay

1:44 pm

periwinkle

I am doing well so far

1:44 pm

hokie carla

my mom was fine with her first one, didn't even get sore. she hasn't had the 2nd yet. my brother did and it wiped him out for a day.

1:44 pm

hokie carla

well done, moo!

1:45 pm

moolingwa

ooh, another one

1:45 pm

hokie carla

I think it will be months before I will be able to get one

1:45 pm

hokie carla

a vaccine, not a word, though that may take a while too.

1:45 pm

moolingwa

will be momths for me too

1:46 pm

moolingwa

s'ok, more at risk people ahead of me

1:46 pm

cybernan

Canada will be getting only about 40% of the doses promised until the middle of February. BC is getting nothing for the next week.

1:47 pm

cybernan

We alway seem to be behind the 8 ball

1:47 pm

moolingwa

are the provincial governments driving it, or is it the national government nan?

1:48 pm

hokie carla

trying to figure out what color to paint our kitchen table

1:48 pm

cybernan

The national government orders it then distributes it to the provinces and territories. Provincial health authorities take over from there.

1:48 pm

moolingwa

purple

1:49 pm

moolingwa

and yellow

1:49 pm

moolingwa

down to 35

1:49 pm

zoozzoom

Not my choice that is for sure.

1:50 pm

cybernan

I think seniors are about 4th on the list of priorities here

1:50 pm

moolingwa

16 of them 7/8 though

1:51 pm

moolingwa

so the national government is setting the priority list?

1:52 pm

cybernan

numbers are levelling off in BC but still too many new cases per day. The provinces set the priority list. Our region is still experiencing a rise in numbers thanks to ski bums who won't stay home

1:52 pm

periwinkle

I think you should paint the table periwinkle!!

1:54 pm

moolingwa

yeah, we've been relatively lucky in Colorado, haven't had a spike from the holidays yet

1:55 pm

cybernan

If you are in one of the resort areas, you probably have the same problems we do, mool

1:55 pm

periwinkle

bl

1:56 pm

moolingwa

The resorts here in CO were one of the first hotspots in the US, but they've got some pretty strict guidelines in place now which have made it spread much slower this time...plus we've had less snow this year, so that also deterred people

1:57 pm

cybernan

our local ski hills are supposedly closed to all but local skiers, but the tourists still come anyway and they are not being turned away, which is very annoying.

1:57 pm

cybernan

More policing and stiffer fines needed I think

1:58 pm

moolingwa

indeed

2:00 pm

zoozzoom

Cannot believe all these years I thought not to drink alcohol was to be cup of tea not the double vowel for the TE8

2:00 pm

clg47

ty for the TE8

2:01 pm

cybernan

I can't understand why anyone would want to ski at a resort where covid is still spreading

2:01 pm

moolingwa

heh

2:02 pm

moolingwa

Well I guess skiing in and of itself is risky, so I guess they're already risk-takers to some degree, especially if they are young

2:02 pm

hokie carla

mr homie was skiing in CO last Feb or whenever. I forgot which one he was at but they shut it down his last day.

2:03 pm

clg47

I can't understand so many things. Yesterday some one told me about so many relatives that were sick. Obviously non maskers and I just wanted to ask how far do you think they spread the virus?

2:03 pm

moolingwa

if you want to experience crazy, just browse some of those Qanon reports that have been in the news over the past couple of weeks

2:04 pm

clg47

leon

2:04 pm

hokie carla

my mom called me yesterday asking what q anon was

2:04 pm

clg47

oops

2:04 pm

hokie carla

not a word, went and tried it :D

2:05 pm

clg47

sometime you just type

2:06 pm

zoozzoom

Fireworks for me finally. Happy babbling everyone!

2:06 pm

moolingwa

Congrats zoo

2:06 pm

penquis

congrats, zooz....

2:06 pm

clg47

It could be a word in some ancient language or a weird insect or a small hat. Congrats zoo

2:52 pm

cybernan

2nd sh 7 please?

2:52 pm

hokie carla

I only have one, something you might take in a sorm

2:53 pm

moolingwa

um, trying to think how to clue it

2:53 pm

moolingwa

it's actually a longer form of a 6 after it

2:53 pm

moolingwa

sounds hebrew

2:53 pm

cybernan

don't have the 6 either

2:53 pm

moolingwa

apparently it's jewish village in eastern europe

2:53 pm

cybernan

that doesn't help me mool

2:53 pm

moolingwa

first three letters are consonants

2:54 pm

hokie carla

Hmm, there is a hebrew word I tried making earlier but canâ€™t remember proper spelling

2:54 pm

moolingwa

in fact, the six only has one vowel

2:54 pm

cybernan

ok - that gave me the 6, ty

2:54 pm

hokie carla

Aha, forgot the 3rd cons. Thanks

2:54 pm

moolingwa

two off consonant combinations in the six

2:54 pm

moolingwa

off=idd

2:54 pm

moolingwa

er odd

2:55 pm

moolingwa

the 7 has two vowels

2:55 pm

cybernan

ty mool

2:55 pm

hokie carla

Got it

2:56 pm

moolingwa

yw, glad I could help...tough one to clue

2:56 pm

Sam

Can anyone clue the second co8 50?

2:56 pm

hokie carla

I felt like it was there today, just didnâ€™t make it work

2:56 pm

moolingwa

yeah

2:57 pm

hokie carla

I only have one, sam, not sure which

2:57 pm

moolingwa

me too, and it was the one nan clued before :)

2:57 pm

hokie carla

I got this one from the chat so prob the same

2:58 pm

Sam

I have the first co8 and the co9 but the second co8 is a sticker, and its for FW.

3:01 pm

ChampFit

It's the same as the previous one, just change the last letter to a consonant. Looks stupid.

3:01 pm

Soodle

So. Now, almost a year into a global pandemic, Ireland finally decides to exploit itâ€™s island status, and is introducing mandatory quarantine. Too bad for the 3,000 people who have diedto

3:02 pm

Soodle

To date. I despair of politicians. I really do.

3:02 pm

moolingwa

oh geez, that's a nice easy word to get

3:02 pm

moolingwa

tx champ

3:02 pm

ChampFit

Exactly! YW

3:03 pm

moolingwa

sounds like it comes from mayan or something

3:04 pm

ChampFit

It's an animal...someone looked it up earlier.

3:04 pm

cybernan

find lots of things to keep you motivated, soodle. We have been in lock down since march and we're getting really really bored with it all. One can only do so much reading, puzzle solving and sewing.

3:06 pm

hokie carla

3:08 pm

Soodle

Iâ€™ve been working from home Nan, since last March. Iâ€™ve missed my only grandchildâ€™s first birthday. I missed my sonâ€™s 30th. My own 60th was a non event & Christmas was a write-off. Damn you Covid.

3:09 pm

hokie carla

looking forward to my 2nd non-event birthday during covid in April.

3:09 pm

cybernan

3:10 pm

3:18 pm

moolingwa

Large boards make the site less stable

AtlKru

moolingwa

and I gave a clue for the other one earlier in the day

3:37 pm

hokie carla

HarryHood

3:38 pm

hokie carla

bye HH!

3:39 pm

moolingwa

well let me know if you change your mind...the clues worked...apparently

3:39 pm

hokie carla

ok, will do, thanks

3:39 pm

moolingwa

:)

3:42 pm

hokie carla

kind of annoyed, I don't know if my laptop is screwed up now after the update or if its this website.

3:43 pm

moolingwa

flush your cache

3:44 pm

hokie carla

I may toss my cookies

3:44 pm

moolingwa

chuck it all out

3:44 pm

hokie carla

just tried serpentine and it was super sluggish too

3:44 pm

moolingwa

expect some expectorations

3:45 pm

moolingwa

you could see what's running in task manager (assuming it's windows)

3:45 pm

hokie carla

mac

3:46 pm

moolingwa

oh, sorry no help then :)

3:46 pm

hokie carla

just checked the equivalent, nothing more than usual running

3:47 pm

hokie carla

when all else fails, reboot.

3:47 pm

moolingwa

do you have more than one browser

3:47 pm

moolingwa

e.g. chrome and safari

3:49 pm

hokie carla

I have both, use chrome

3:49 pm

moolingwa

try in safari and see if it's still slow

3:50 pm

moolingwa

that would at least give you a clue if its the browser or if it's your computer

3:50 pm

hokie carla

already going much faster here when I enter words

3:50 pm

hokie carla

so either the reboot or the hurling helped

3:50 pm

moolingwa

okay, might also be the update still finishing in the background, or your protection software re-cataloging all the updated files

3:51 pm

hokie carla

this computer is almost 9 years old. maybe I can get a new one for my non-birthday in a few months.

3:51 pm

moolingwa

not sure if mac has a file search index function, in which case could be that too

3:51 pm

moolingwa

oh geez, 9 years old...that's like 5 years past expiry

3:53 pm

hokie carla

I know!

3:54 pm

hokie carla

and I just updated to the latest ios, which is probably a shock to its system

3:55 pm

moolingwa

when that laptop was new, Gangnam Style had just come out

3:55 pm

hokie carla

I got it for mother's day when my now grown kids were pre-teens

3:57 pm

4:32 pm

hokie carla

still need 13 p's, guess I will take those pa7/8 clues now that my computer is working again

4:33 pm

moolingwa

the first one, you'll need to bring out your artistic side, and think of a colorful answer

4:33 pm

moolingwa

the second one is like small piece/s

4:34 pm

moolingwa

and the second one might have a rhyming sweetness to it ;)

4:34 pm

hokie carla

6:45 pm

hurshy

how could i miss that

6:45 pm

hurshy

after jon lovitz so memorably repeating it on friends

6:45 pm

penquis

the nine is a pl.....think of the pointy head people on SNL and change the last part to another word meaning the same as the original word...

6:46 pm

hurshy

6:48 pm

hurshy

haha

6:48 pm

hurshy

ok i see why you thought i found the ones that rhyme with the ta pair

6:48 pm

penquis

the other is like a small piece of something....ends with the same sounding ending...

6:49 pm

hurshy

that seems like a really unnecessary word to have

6:49 pm

hurshy

why would this need to exist

6:50 pm

penquis

al 7/8....it's the name of a city in France (I was there about 15 mos ago)...i think it refers to a type of lace...

6:51 pm

hurshy

thank you!

6:51 pm

penquis

and the weird co 8 is like the one I clued but change the last letter to a consonant....it doesn't look like a real word...

6:52 pm

hurshy

6:52 pm

hurshy

kinda goes with the ro4

6:52 pm

hurshy

in weirdness

6:52 pm

penquis

apparently it's a hog-nosed skunk...who knew??

6:52 pm

hurshy

not i, said the little red hen

6:53 pm

penquis

fo 8 is a common compound word....

6:54 pm

penquis

pa 7/8....think of a compound word meaning ashen toddlers....not the real definition, lol....

6:54 pm

hurshy

thanks, i'm feeling dumb about fo8. i found a 7... but no 8

6:54 pm

penquis

te 8....not being a booze drinker....

6:55 pm

Lizlin

Thanks for pa 8

6:55 pm

penquis

the 8 is a pl....

6:55 pm

hurshy

6:55 pm

penquis

sorry...not the fo 8.....

6:55 pm

Lizlin

Bread dough in fridge. Time for a few more words before going out

chem tests tomorrow, so answering lots of panicked email questions

7:54 pm

Trifioso

oh you will LOVE this one - as I mentioned, my students rotate in and out a week at a time. One of the kids is having to quarantine, following a parent having close contact exposure. Kiddo is taking FULL advantage, and has blown off school. When does he suddenly get the urge to join google meets? Monday. When we had NO students due to a professional day. We all got emails from him complaining that "no one was on the meets"

7:54 pm

HarryHood

funny

7:54 pm

Trifioso

predictable.

7:55 pm

HarryHood

7:55 pm

HarryHood

trying to make it work for the remote kids and then dealing with their difficulties

7:55 pm

HarryHood

7:55 pm

Trifioso

I am super done with the a{ not listening to directions b) not doing any work all semester and then burying me the week before grades are due

7:56 pm

Trifioso

the whiners - OH MY GOD

7:56 pm

HarryHood

word.

7:59 pm

Trifioso

the whiny parents are worse. "I have to work all day, what do you expect ME to do?" Nothing. i expect you to do nothing. YOU go to work, and do your job. It is your child's job to do their schoolwork in a timely fashion, taking accountability for their work. I am just apprising you that your students is NOT doing their work.

8:00 pm

HarryHood

I do feel for the admins though - as much as they may be incompetent, I wouldn't take their job for a million bucks

8:01 pm

Trifioso

me either, but wow, yesterday's PD was ROUGH. the admins are so flipped out about all the kid's failing that they want us to do things like not grade missed work, only record completed assignments, or excuse stuff. How on earth does that give an accurate gauge of how well the student has accessed the curriculum, exactly?

8:02 pm

HarryHood

I've heard of teachers in AP courses being forced to give 10 extra points for participation on final grades

8:03 pm

Trifioso

barf. that helps NO ONE

It's no better in universities, unfortunately. If we aren't meeting live next fall, I'm going to retire. Which I'd really rather not, but I can't go through another Zoom year.

Trifioso

8:10 pm

jan

We've been told not to grade below a B minus. I violated that last fall and gave some Cs. I had to--they would have been Ds or Fs in a normal grading curve.

8:15 pm

Trifioso
